Chevy Chase the most over-rated actor on television
Chevy Chase disparages TV sitcoms but keeps working on one...why would anyone care if taxes go up for this guy?
So many actors looking for work, and Chevy Chase is complaining about his nice easy gig at NBC? This guy needs to get a grip on reality. There's a lot of 69 year old actors out there who could have played the part of Pierce on Community. He needs to stop flattering himself, because having movie stars on TV shows hasn't proved to automatically make that show a ratings powerhouse.
Chase was quoted as saying, "I just sort of hung around because I have three daughters and a wife, and I figured out I might as well make some bread, every week, so I can take care of them in the way they want."
Community hasn't scored in the ratings for the past three years but it is a funny sitcom and has a strong following of loyal fans. Even without creator Dan Harmon in the fold, since most of the writers are staying on the show probably won't be much different this season.
Actors like Chase ought to stop complaining and instead be thankful that they have a job. Someone with his star power can just walk away, but his greed for money isn't allowing him to do that.
